57^ E. Home's Account of the 
One scapula remains nearly in its place, on the outside of 
the ribs ; the other, less perfect in its form, is seen in the mass 
of blue lias beyond the broken ends of the concave ribs of the 
opposite side. 
In the same situation are several broken fragments of bones 
cemented together, but not sufficiently entire to have their 
forms made out; beyond these are three small flattened bones 
connected to one another, having their natural form. 
The number of vertebrae collected, which appear to have 
formed one connected chain, is sixty, and when these are placed 
in a line, the skeleton measures about seventeen feet. The di- 
mensions of the largest vertebra are one inch and a half thick, 
three inches broad from side to side ; and three and a half 
broad from the anterior surface to the origin of the spinous 
process. 
There are other vertebrae in the same blue lias, but they 
are much smaller, and there is no evidence of their having 
belonged to the same animal. 
Detached portions of ribs were found so much crushed, that 
the softer middle part appeared split through ; but on a close 
examination, some of the substance of the rib was found to 
remain, although a deep sulcus in this way had been formed. 
This very uncommon appearance is represented in the annexed 
drawing. 
There are other fragments of fossil bones collected from the 
same place, and evidently deposited at the same time ; but as 
they are too imperfect to enable me to ascertain the exact 
figure of the bones, and it cannot be determined whether they 
really belonged to this animal, or to others, I have not ven- 
tured to notice them on the present occasion.
